Stuk 140 - Letter from Maria Germanova to R. C. Trevelyan

14 rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris XVI. - Thanks Bob very much for the money he sent for the flat; she got it on 8 October and wrote to thank him at once, but has just found that letter 'forgotten in a book'; apologises. Has not been very well, and has had to stay in bed with her bad heart; has felt her burden and hates 'this forced laziness'. Is better now, and hopes this will last; she tries her best not to over-exert herself. Julian and Ursula have been to visit, and she was so glad she forgot she was ill while they were here. [Hasan Shahid] Suhrawardy will leave soon, so she is very sad; he is looking for a radio for them, which is very 'thoughtfull [sic] and nice of him'. Hopes he will come next spring with his father. Andrusha is sitting his examinations, and they think about him all the time. Asks how Bessy is; was 'mentalement [sic] writing her long letters' all the time she lay in bed; will write to her when Suhrawardy has left. He and Alex[andre] Petr[ovitch] send greetings to the Trevelyans.
